I watched the whole season in 2 days. Yes.

I loved loved loved season 3 of Unbreakable, especially after what I considered a weaker season 2. Featuring all my faves as well as some new ones (Daveed Diggs!!!), this is definitely worthy of 5 stars, as I will elaborate in a little bit.

Titus Lemonading was probably my favourite moment of the whole series: it was so hilarious, so on point and so appropriate for his character. I can't really pick out a least favourite moment of the whole series, although I thought that Duke was a little annoying, yet was ecstatic to see the phenomenal Josh Charles.

I thought the 'Dionne Warwick' cameo was EXCELLENT, but my favourite cameo was Tina Fey, who was excellent as always as Kimmy's alcoholic therapist. Favourite relationship definitely goes to Kimmy and Perry, although it was nice to see how nearly every main character had the perfect relationship arc.

Basically, without giving toooooo much away, I absolutely adored this season!

This is a slightly more light-hearted Amber Rants, so if you're looking for the more juicy and vitriolic posts, turn away now :). See, there's even a smiley face, and presently, an exclamation mark!

Despite some of its shortcomings, and honestly, offensive jokes, particularly with the early series, when in 1999 people still used spaz and other words like that on tv, I am in love with the show. Despite the very true claims people make about Lorelai being an awful person (kinda true), and Rory being whiny (hmm true sometimes), I freaking love it.

This tv show is about a man who during the State of the Union, is the designated survivor: in other words, if there's an attack on the politicians, he will be the survivor and president. This does indeed happen, and follows both him and his family, as well as the FBI agents trying to solve the crime, and a rogue state who refuses to answer to his unelected leadership. It's exciting and vibrant and I do love it.

So. Much. Representation.

Audience Rating: 15, but I would rate it as an 18
Episodes: 8 x 30 mins
Genre: Apparently a comedy....nah I don't think so. Definitely a drama.
Lowlights: I found the first and third episodes to be quite shallow - push through the first, as I think it's not the highlight of the series, and it does pick up. Sometimes it does border on cliche: one couple exploring gender normative roles after the man is a stay at home dad, and the mum is the 'breadwinner' of the family.
Highlights: I find it captivating, some of the stories, as they are so refreshingly normal. Acting is first class, and the highlights of the series are 'Vegan Cinderella' and 'Controlada'.
Rating: 8/10

This series of mostly improvised shorts on the surface can seem shallow. In the first episode, I wondered if it would be a series made up entirely of sex, but what shines through the rawness of  is that this is not tokenism. The representation we see can feel overwhelming, but it's important to consider that this is in part due to the fact that film and tv are so unrepresentative of the world. So maybe this show is just a little more telling of actual real life.

Each episode is presented as a stand alone, with casual links, such as the second episode featuring the babysitter of the couple in the first. However, as the series continues, characters weave into others' storylines, and Dave Franco starts lingering like an annoying bad smell, with almost two episodes dedicated to him. Most of it is improvised too, with just ideas presented to the cast, which is so star-studded that it's almost phenomenal. PS Orlando Bloom is v hot :)
